How to use?

wait for 60 seconds: ready to use!

Charging the warmer is easy. Either charge your warmer in the yoomi pod in approx 2 mins in the microwave (750-1200 watts) using the "heat shake, heat shake" method or place the warmer in a pan of water (or steam steriliser) and boil for 30 minutes. Once charged, your warmer stays charged and is ready to use whenever you need it.

Microwave: You can recharge your warmer in the microwave in just 2 mins. Always protect your warmer with its pod when using the microwave and stick to the times in the guidelines... don't be tempted to merge them! Remember, heat, shake... heat, shake!

Charging your warmers with a pod does not make it sterile. You can sterilise your charged warmer in an electric (non-microwave) steam steriliser on a regular cycle, in boiling water for 4 mins or in a cold water sterilisation solution.

Boiling: You can recharge several warmers at once by placing them on their side for 30 minutes in a pan of water that's kept boiling. Allow to cool before use.

Electric steam steriliser: You can recharge your warmers in an electric steam steriliser for 30 minutes continuously. Just use four times the amount of water the steriliser manufacturer recommends. So if they say 40ml, use 160ml instead. It's a good idea to check the manufacturer’s instructions for your steriliser.

yoomi warmers need a little rest before they are ready to go so leave them to cool down on their side. Either 75 minutes at room temperature or 20 minutes in a cold water sterilising tub. If you press it too soon you could permanently damage your yoomi warmer.

The bottle and teat can be sterilised using all conventional sterilisation methods.

keep calm, use yoomi

In the middle of the night

New mummy, Amanda, charges her warmers during Isabella’s bath time. She places all of her warmers in a pan of boiling water and sets a timer so that she knows when they’re done. Before Amanda goes to bed, she prepares the feed as normal, pours it into her new yoomi with the warmer in place and pops it in the fridge. When Isabella wakes up crying at 3am, Amanda just presses the button and is able to comfort Isabella in less than a minute without worrying about overheating the feed.

Out for lunch with the girls

Before she bought a yoomi, Kelly didn’t go out for lunch with the girls as often as she would have liked to. Always rather uncomfortable breastfeeding in public, she was constantly worried that the waiters wouldn’t give her hot water to warm Olly’s bottle or that they would overheat the feed in the microwave. Now that she has yoomi, Kelly goes out confident that she can give Olly his milk quickly, easily and at the perfect temperature. No matter where they are or what they are doing, with a little preparation at home (charging the warmer and placing her expressed breast milk in the bottle) Kelly and Olly have the freedom to be out and about all day.

In a car, on a train or plane

Emma is new mummy to little Harry – 2 months. Emma’s brother Stuart lives a four-hour drive away. Worrying about a warm feed for Harry during the trip was a regular occurrence until Stuart gave his nephew a yoomi as a Christmas present. Now if Harry starts screaming to be fed – Emma can feed him at the touch of a button, in just 60 seconds, even if they are stuck on the M1 with no service stations for another 20 miles! Emma’s since bought another yoomi bottle and warmer so that she can have two feeds ready and waiting in case she gets stuck in a traffic jam. When they get to Uncle Stuart’s, Emma easily recharges the warmers in a pan of boiling water (with a timer set to 25 minutes) so that they are ready for the drive back home.

At Grandma and Grandad’s

Claire’s mum looks after twins Max and Dylan two days a week. Claire charges her warmers at the end of her day so that they are ‘ready-to-go’ in the morning (she has two warmers for each of the boys and recommends this to all her other ‘mum’ friends). The boys are sent off to Grandma’s with four feeds ‘ready-to-go’ in the yoomi bottles, so that all Grandma has to do is push the button as soon as the boys get hungry. With four feeds ready to go, Grandma, Grandpa and the boys can go out together without having to worry about getting back home in time for lunch. Quick and easy to use, yoomi is ideal for feeding twins anytime!
